Since the 1991-2002 civil conflict ended in Sierra Leone, the
country has failed to translate the accomplishments of women’s
involvement in bringing the war to an end into meaningful political
empowerment. This is in marked contrast to other post-conflict
countries, which have increased the political participation of
women in elected and appointed office, increased the representation
of women in leadership positions, and enacted constitutional
reforms promoting women’s rights. Written by Sierra Leonean and
Africanist scholars and experts from a broad range of disciplines,
this unique volume analyses the historical and contextual factors
influencing women’s political, economic and social development in
the country. In drawing on a diverse array of case studies – from
health to education, refugees to international donors – the
contradictions, successes and challenges of women’s lives in a
post-conflict environment are revealed, making this an essential
book for anyone involved in women and development.
